Per Bak Jensen -- Tilsagn/Promise, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard, 2008, front cover (fig.1).

In its solitude, my mind has developed, over time, the capacity to let go of its anchoring in the intellect. I refrain from losing my firm connection to the world by pursuing this ability to let go. My photographs map out the areas in which my mind has wandered.

PER BAK JENSEN, 1998
